----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MiniNet BBS Software
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Be advised that the Franchise is a separate package (from the MiniNet
software) and is quite expensive as it includes ongoing support, full
MiniNet(s) access, unlimited free MiniNet software/support files
updates, a full image copy (600+ megs/1200 diskettes, all 0 bytes
free and all ARC'ed) of this system's files data base, and a number
of other desireable features.
The MiniNet Software package by itself, includes the software, all
Sysop utilities, display screens and support files (152 in all) and
24 hour a day online support in setup, maintenance and operation via
Underdog's MiniNet Headquarters Seattle, Wa.
At one time, MiniNet was fully comapatible to Fido NetMail but I
decided to break that connection after experiencing several attempts
to crash the system via NetMail. There is a DOS Access built into
MiniNet... and, it is possible to bring up a copy of Fido to do
FidoNet in the alloted mail time slot.. on the same token, you could
configure RBBS Doorware and PCBoard Doorware to operate via the DOS
Access. In most cases, all that is required is the RBBS and/or
PCBoard configuration files.
As I prefer to release customized versions of MiniNet, I would be
open to making (minor) modifications to the software to suit your
needs... there are several desireable features to MiniNet that make
it worth consideration... Here are only a few of the many MiniNet
features:
It only requires 150K to run including the DOS shell for the external
transfer protocols! This allows you full access to your system (via
TaskView multitasker) to run personal applications while the system
operates in the background!
Built in file locking so that you can operate multiple MiniNet
systems under TaskView multitasker (and still have enough memory left
over for your personal system access!)
Extensive user security/access/accounting processes with full SysOp
intervention while user is online.
Separate conference areas each with a separate, private, files
section (capable of 6 files sub-sections within that one section).
TOTAL System Security with extensive user monitoring via log files
and automatic daily statistics tabulations made at Midnight each
night.
24 hour DogNet Mail capabilities handled from within the main BBS
system (no front-end processor or Net Mail time slot required).
4 different menu/display modes with FULL MutilColor support at ALL
system prompts and displays using ANSI control "goto" statements to
speed up displays.
14 files transfer protocols - all of which are accessed from the main
BBS code (do not require the use of a protocol DOOR).
Automatic Multi-File transfer capabilities - by keyboard input for
non K9X users and K9X.LST input for K9X users.
Command ganging of 7 or more commands at one system prompt supplying
total efficiency for experienced users.
Sophisticated FULL function files data base (not simple text files)
that facilitates super fast searches and retievals. With 1,000,000+
entry capacity.
Sophisticated FULL function User Record Data Base that maintains both
ACTIVE and INACTIVE user indeces for super fast user ID retrieval and
unlimited User data base size.
Built in ARC list member and view member features - with full user
account debiting.
A full set of Sysop Utilities that automate almost all of the normal
SysOp functions... keeping system maintenance to a minimum.
Full DOS directory support with super-fast filefinding capabilities.
Hard disk support for the DOS limit (C..Z) with no megabyte limits
(this MiniNet system operates with 11 hard disks / 800+ megabytes
total).
MiniNet Version 18.00 is in BETA test now...
Here's a breakdown of what's new:
Added 9600/19200 bps support - with "Lock Init Baud" flag. (USR HST
allows port init at 19200 bps and locking the port at the init speed
with the modem adjusting to user connect baud rate).
Added dialy download K limit - (so 9600 baud users don't eat you out
of house and home)!
Added Offline Test mode (no comm port access) for background Sysop
maintenance under Multitasker.
Added command line parameter support to define operation varaibles.
(Comm Port, Node, Daily K, Lock Baud, Null Modem, Test Mode, etc.)
Added Null Modem Support for inter machine access via null modem
cable.
Added DSZ Batch Upload/Download of upto 24 files.
Added DSZ True Ymodem Batch (same 24 files limit)
Added a new Xmodem/Ymodem/WXmodem/K9Xmodem driver which handles both
single file and Batch up/downloads - bringing protocol support to 14
(plus the K9X autodownload feature)!
Added files list editor during Batch uploads - allows for manual
input or Ascii Upload of a files list. User may use a standard BBS
type list... in which case, MiniNet will extract the name and
description from each line.
Added full type-ahead buffering when user input is expected...
reverting back to C=Abort/S=Pause during system display scrolling.
Added H)ang Up option at all system prompts. This gives the user a
quick disconnect option from anywhere on the system.
Changed the new user logon to display the APPLY text file and then
prompt user if he/she wishes to register of hangup.
Expanded number of conferences to 9 - made number sysop defineable
Optimized the code (again!) - the system only requires 140K including
the external protocols!
Added special message header formatting for color/fancy color users
which uses ANSI Cursor positioning rather than streaming out spaces.
Added special stationary files listings for color/fancy color users
which uses ANSI Cursor positioning to display file listings without
scrolling.
Modified the ARC list/view function so that the user may list an ARC
and view text files continuously without having to recall the main
files listing. Additionally, MiniNet monitors the user security
versus the file security. Users may view text files within an ARC
only if his/her security is equal to or higher than that of the file.
Changed format for Quick Scan messages so displaying about 12 msg
headers per screen as opposed to the old 3 headers per screen
Correceted a problem in the node mail feature

MiniNet is perhaps the most sophisticated BBS package available to
date. If you haven't seen the MiniNet system in action, I cordially
invite you to give the Dog a call and check it out for yourself!
The MiniNet Software package by itself, includes the software, all
Sysop utilities, display screens and support files (152 in all) and
24 hour a day online support in setup, maintenance and operation via
Underdog's MiniNet Headquarters Seattle, Wa.
